Objects of the EditTimeMenuItem class represent menu items in the sequence editor or user interface. A menu item is a command, a call to a sequence, a submenu, or a submenu of calls to sequences in a sequence file. EditTimeMenuItem objects specify the menu item type, which includes paths and arguments for commands, paths for sequence files, and names of sequences. Each object specifies an expression for evaluating item text at run time, and expressions that determine whether the item is enabled or visible at run time.
